Late last century and thus far all of this one, comparisons have been made to Rome in regards to the United States. Oddly enough, the same argument has been used by both sides of the political spectrum, albeit from vastly different perspectives. While the right has used the comparison as a grave warning of what might be, the left has revelled in the prospect of the respective paths of ancient Rome and the modern U.S. converging, bringing to fruition that which they so clearly desire. The Fall of America.
How else could one possibly explain the wanton disdain for this country emanating from the left? Or their incessant cries and blatant manueverings for her defeat? And yet through all the transparent attempts to hasten her demise, the left is allowed to plead patriotism unchallenged. It should be clear to any lucid person that the left not only wants America to fail, they are actively working toward that end, and increasingly more so in plain sight. However, it is not clear, and those of us who have heard the increasingly shrill tone of our own plaintive calls know that we are being relegated ever so subtly into the company of psychiatric patients who claim to be sane. No one will listen, so we must protest ever more loudly, which only bolsters the notion that we need help. This is known as a vicious cycle.
And so we use clever tactics like blogs and chat groups, hoping that someone will notice the injustice of our incarceration and set us free. Or at least act upon our knowledge and free us when the truth is proved.
In the meantime, we are losing the Greatest Generation to attrition. Those same blogs and chat groups are a fine recruiting tool to make people here in America aware that they live in the greatest country in the world and that something must be done to protect that status. Also, that their parents and grandparents (The Greatest Generation) fought valiantly to make this place what it is and that it would be a Goddamned shame to let it all go for the sake of political correctness and diplomacy at all costs.
When the “war on terror” is finally over, assuming that we achieve a tidy ending, those who opposed it should be incarcerated as the traitorous bastards that they are. Or at the least, sent to live amongst the surviving jihadists, should there be any.
One thing is clear to me…I cannot forsee, with the character of middle America what it is, our demise. I refuse to believe that the people who have successfully silenced true Americans for so long will be able to maintain control. Sane people have been institutionalized for too long and I think it’s time the patients ruled the asylum.
